Located in County Limerick and recognized as the originator of fine Irish cheese, Marion Cahill of Cahill's Farm has developed an interesting range of flavored cheddars. Using a base of tangy Irish cheddar, she has experimented with a variety of flavors and has come up with some very popular combinations. We offer three types of Cahill's Farm Cheddar: Elderberry, Porter, and Irish Whiskey. These semi-soft cheddars are made from pasteurized cow's milk and vegetable rennet. Varieties sold separately.

I found the combination of of cheddar & Elderberry Wine to complaint one another nether overpowering thus adding a sweet but sharp flavor to the cheese. I found this an excellent snacking cheese while watching TV or just relaxing.

I Got the Elderberry Wine

Fabulous. The taste is slightly sweet from the wine and cheddar flavor come across both familiar and new.

Interesting, modern cheese variety

Haven't quite made up my mind yet. It's a cheddar alright. Infused (my choice) with Irish Creme Liqueur. Ummm. Makes for some interesting sensations. The dryness of the cheddar with a mouthful of sweet liqueur sure is something else. Give it a try :-}

Best cheese ever!

Cahill's Irish crème liqueur cheddar was awesome.

delightfully different

Repeat items for me- I like the Elderberry and the Porter varieties. Dresses up the salads and is also a kick to place thin slices on toast (or a toasted tortilla) and watch it melt. Quite flavorful.

Elderberry Wine variety: delicate appearance and taste

Cahill's Farm Elderberry Wine Cheddar was another of the more popular items on the "alcohol themed" cheese trays I put together over the holidays. People seemed to enjoy the delicate pink and orange lace appearane of the cheese as well as it's equally delicate fruity flavor. Personally, I couldn't detect much wine flavor to the cheese but rather more of a fresh berry taste, but oh so subtle. One reviewer here at igourmet commented that the cheese is mild enough it can easily get lost among stronger cheeses in an assortment, and yes, I could see that easily happening. Luckily, at the parties I attended, most guests tended to try the Eldeberry Wine Cheddar early on, perhaps simply because the cheese's colorful appearance is so inviting. If you're curious about other Cahill's Farm cheeses, see also my review of the Porter Cheddar below.

Porter variety makes quite an impression visually

For a couple of holiday parties I attended, I put together cheese trays consisting of all alcohol infused cheeses like Drunken Goat, Kerrygold with Stout, and ten or so others. The one selection on the trays that immediately got the most comments was Cahill's Farm Porter Cheddar with it's deep brown color, looking more like a block of chocolate than a cheese. I'm happy to say the guests were equally pleased with the taste of the cheese, and so was I.
Though it looks like the cheese must have been completely saturated in porter, the taste isn't at all overwhelming. You can just barely pick up hints of chocolate, caramel, or coffee from the porter, while leaving plenty of room for the slightly sharp cheddar taste. A fellow reviewer who goes by the name "revisann" described the flavor combination as "almost mushroom-like," a very astute observation that I hadn't noticed at first. If you're looking for something really different to add to your next cheese tray, you can't go wrong with Porter Cheddar. By the way, I'll also be submitting a review of Cahill's Farm Eldeberry Wine Cheddar, which I also tried.

Irish Whiskey and Porter both very delicious

I ordered the Irish Whiskey and the Porter and was not disappointed by either one. These are great additions to party cheese boards.
